Install FortiClient VPN Client from Fortinet Ubuntu Repos

Fortinet provides repos from which you can easily install FortiClient VPN Client from. However, as of this writing, the repos are not available for Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa. Thus, use the method above to install FortiClient VPN on Ubuntu 20.04.

Install FortiClient VPN Client from Fortinet Ubuntu Repos on Ubuntu 18.04

To install Fortinet VPN from Fortinet Ubuntu repos, you first need to install the repository GPG signing key.

wget -O - https://repo.fortinet.com/repo/ubuntu/DEB-GPG-KEY | sudo apt-key add -

Next, create the Fortinet Ubuntu 18.04 repo;

echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.fortinet.com/repo/ubuntu/ /bionic multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fortinet.list

Next, update the package repos;

Check the available version of

apt-cache policy forticlient

forticlient: Installed: (none) Candidate: 6.0.8.0140 Version table: 6.0.8.0140 500 500 https://repo.fortinet.com/repo/ubuntu /bionic/multiverse amd64 Packages 6.0.6.0125 500 500 https://repo.fortinet.com/repo/ubuntu /bionic/multiverse amd64 Packages 6.0.5.0106 500 500 https://repo.fortinet.com/repo/ubuntu /bionic/multiverse amd64 Packages 6.0.4.0091 500 500 https://repo.fortinet.com/repo/ubuntu /bionic/multiverse amd64 Packages 6.0.3.0073 500 500 https://repo.fortinet.com/repo/ubuntu /bionic/multiverse amd64 Packages 6.0.2.0058 500 500 https://repo.fortinet.com/repo/ubuntu /bionic/multiverse amd64 Packages 6.0.1.0048 500 500 https://repo.fortinet.com/repo/ubuntu /bionic/multiverse amd64 Packages 6.0.0.0029 500 500 https://repo.fortinet.com/repo/ubuntu /bionic/multiverse amd64 Packages
